Tursday, 15 May 1917

F,ine but very cold in evening.   We packed up & moved off at 10.30 AM & arrived at our new quarters about midday. The horselines are in the open & I have rigged up a bit of a fly & half a dozen of us camp there.   Took ammunition up at night.   Altogether it is not a bad joint & we have been in a jolly side worse.   I saw a lot of the preparations made for the push shortly for Messines & they are marvellous.   Every tree hides a gun of some sort & the place is a network of light railways.

I got a parcel of socks ect. from Jo.
